Fatal accident at work Wednesday morning in East Tyrol: A 45-year-old resident fell four meters through a shaft during cleaning work at a company in Nußdorf-Debant and suffered serious injuries.
The accident at work happened around 7:30 am: the 45-year-old was cleaning a conveyor belt in the company. “The woman climbed onto a drainage channel, which, according to initial investigation, was covered with a sheet steel lid to remove the dirt from the conveyor belt housing, “the police said.
Hit the asphalt floor
The lid may have slipped off after all – and the locals fell four meters down the shaft before hitting the ground with full force. The worker suffered serious injuries.
A colleague immediately made an emergency call and provided first aid. The seriously injured was eventually admitted to the Klagenfurt clinic.
